saw this list on FB (of all places) and it seemed worth copying for later consideration

  1. write things down; our brains for having ideas, not holding them
  2. take a second to pause before you respond; become less reactive
  3. read something every day; even just one page
  4. write something every day; even just one paragraph
  5. automate and batch as much as you can; our brains have more room to be creative when they're not constantly making decisions
    1. not sure this one is true
  6. get some sun on your skin as early as you can in the day
    1. not always possible in WA
  7. when your brain hurts stop working (haha); take a quick break to disconnect and recharge
  8. limit your to-do list to the top 3 most important tasks of the day
  9. write down anything that resonates with you
  10. break down goals into the smallest steps possible
  11. value your time above all else
  12. find hobbies that engage your mind and soul; do them as often as you can
  13. place your phone outside the room while you're working (haha)
  14. track everything you do for one day to the minute; find where the time-sinks are
  15. stop comparing you behind the scenes to everyone else's highlight reel
